  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup rice
  • 3 Tbs olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (1 tsp)
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1 Tbs lime juice

  • 2 cups baby spinach, finely chopped
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped
  • salt to taste
Directions:
  1. In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil.  Add the rice, olive oil, garlic, leon zest, lime juice, and salt and reduce to medium heat.  Stir gently, cover and simmer slowly for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender.  Leave the rice covered so the steam stays in, making the rice fluffy.  
  2. Transfer the rice to a large mixing bowl.  Add the cilantro, spinach, scallions, and salt.  Combine thoroughly.
